23... Re4 24. Qd2 |
Notice that the pin is still effective. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
24... Rg4 |
A seemingly strong move which protects his weakened "isolated" pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25. O-O-O |
Finally! Now I have some resources to get moving on the kingside. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
25... Qg7 |
Solving the problem of the "isolated" pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26. Rdg1 |
! Realizing a 5-3 piece advantage on the kingside, I prepare to launch an overwhelming attack. Notice that this was the correct rook to place on g1, as the other will be need on the h file. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
26... h6 |
? This just weakens black's position. Better was Ng6. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27. h4 |
!! take a minute and look at the capturing possibilities in this position should he play gxh. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
27... Ng6 |
Too little too late. No matter what, white will come out on top after the carnage of the next few moves. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
28. hxg5 hxg5 29. Nxg5 Rxg5 30. Qxg5 |
Black is now seriously on the ropes. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
30... Ne7 |
Following general theory, white starts eliminating pieces while he has the advantage. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
31. Qxg7+ Kxg7 32. g4 |
! Preventing Nf5, which could cause serious headaches for white. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
32... Bd7 |
32 moves into the game and black finally moves his light squared bishop. Notice that it still isn't doing much however. Black must get his Ra8 into the mix if he is to have any chance of achieving at least a draw. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
33. Bd3 |
Still somewhat concerned about blacks knight, white begs him to move to g6. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
33... Ng6 |
Thank you! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
34. Bxg6 Kxg6 35. Rgf1 |
This move achieves almost total control of the areas around the enemy king. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
35... Rg8 |
I guess black wanted to try to get to my g pawn eventually, but he has no time to do so. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
36. Rf6+ Kg7 |
Kg5 may have bought a little more time. Now it is just a matter of technique. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
37. Rhf1 Bc8 |
Black is overly concerned with the protection of his e pawn. Be8 was better. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
38. Rf6f7+ |
The check is just gravy - my goal is to get the black king away from f8. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
38... Kg6 39. Rf7f8 Kg7 40. Rf1f7+ |
While I can't mate him right this instant, I can win the bishop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
